As with short links, it’s very difficult to know what websites QR codes
link to without actually testing them. Most QR code scanners display a
site’s URL before you visit it, but this URL could still conceal the
final domain and there’s no foolproof way of knowing it’s safe. I often
use QR codes, so I was pleased to discover that Kaspersky has just
released an app (bit.ly/qr365) that solves this problem by automatically scanning sites before directing you to them.

Kaspersky QR Scanner app is available on iOS and Android devices
I was worried that it might slow things down, but the app is remarkably
fast and you can rest assured that the links you visit are malware-free.
Since downloading Kaspersky QR Scanner, I’ve not used my old QR scanner
once!
